DIR. H. N. BROWN

For the past two years, hundreds of people suffering with long standing chronic and ob- scure diseases which have proved incurable by the old methods of treatment have been cured by the new scientific and rational sys- tenn practiced by pr. H. N. Brown of 93 Olive street, New Haven. As many are in terested and desire some reference regarding his ability to cure chronic diseases, he will report few cases and give few names by request and permission, who have tested the treatment and are prepared to vouch for his unparalleled success, which has been acquir- ed by long years of faithful study and expe rience in this special branch.
 Mir. Frank Maurer, jr., 59 George street, CT. of Orange, says: My wife was blind for five months and treated by oculists during that time without improvement and we both feel very grateful for the rapid and perma- nent cure by Dr. H. N. Brown and take great pleasure in recommending all afflicted, dis couraged and hopeless to call and be cured as she was.
 Mrs. s. w. Bailey, 317 Grand avenue, Fair Haven, Conn.-PartiaI paralysis of the right arm and shoulder; with great pain much of the time; also severe pain in the head with great prostration which rendered her almost helpless for years; cured in four months by Dr. H. N. Browns new treatment for nervous diseases and paralysis.
 Mrs. H. A. Bond, 164 Martin street, is pre- pared to vouch for the superior merit of the new treatment for diseases of women. She has been long sufferer and ..doctored much and is competent to judge what system cures. She is now perfectly we'll, and for the sake of suffering women will be pleased to inform any one interested how easy it is to be cured by scientific treatment.
 ''Facts stubborn things" So are chron- ic diseases, but the above will prove they are curable. If you are sick and desire to be cured investigate, and if these don't convince I can cure these ailments I can give you 800 names of reliable people cured.
 Consultation free. Hours-10 to 12 a. m. , 2 to 4 and to 8 p. m.
 P. S.-No names published except by per mission

THE "PROFITs,' OF BUSINESS.

IT
 The ignorant and minimizing labor agita- tors have had good deal to say about the immense profits of those who are engaged in business, and the great number of business men who find it hard, or impossible, to "make both ends meet" have smiled bitter ly when they have heard or read the tirades against the 'Ebloated capitalists"
 In his talk the other day before labor ly- ceum in Boston Edward Atkinson gave some of the agitators. He gave an illustration of the relative receipts of labor and capital in the yearly receipts of cotton mill having a capital of $1,000, 600 and an annual product of +, 300, ,000 yards of medium sterling, thir- ty-six inches wide, valued at 614 cents per yard, or about $1 100000 The final distri- button of the product was summed up as fol- lows: Consumed by owners, 3 per cent, $22, 2,000, consumed by laborers, STE per cent, $95S, $50; saved by capitalists, 5 per cent, $55, ,000; saved by laborers, 41a per cent, $49, $50; the savings of 3,400 working people at per cent. per day, 300 days in the year; taxes, $15,000. Total, $1,100,000.
 Another illustration of the burdens of business men has been brought to light by the talk of committee with Mayor Hewitt of New York, who is one of the owners of the Trenton iron works. Mayor Hewitt sad concerning the matter: t'Taking one year with another, the business had not paid us one per cent. for many years. If the men proposed to strike that would end the mat ter. We would shut down the works and thus prevent further loss. The committee replied that no strike was contemplated. then said that we would be glad to have any one take the works off our hands and pay us per cent. on the capital invested. If the men thought there was money in the busi- ness they might try the experiment of run ming the business, but the first thing they would have to do would be to reduce theil wages 20 per cent. That was just what the concern ran behind last year" Ex-Mayor Cooper, 8 member of the firm, said: "I un derstand that MT. Hewitt told the committee who waited on him that if our men wanted to try cooperation they would have to re l duce their wages 20 per cent. as prelimina l ry to success, or they could let 25 per cent of their wages remain with the firm as { guarantee against loss and then share the profits at the end of the year. Speaking fol | myself, can say that would not want te l see that plan tried, for there would not bs any profit, judging by the experience of tht
 past few years, and the men would believe | they had been cheated.
 A great many business men who are looked on as ':the natural enemies" of the working | man could tell similar story. The lot O.
 the employer is not all ''pie" any more thar | is the lot of the employe."
Morning journal and courier., 1887-05-11

mounts again and proceeds. The servants and camels follow a little distance behind, carrying with them corn and water.
 The horsemen divide and form a circle around the ostriches at such distance as not to be noticed by them. The servants halt when the horsemen separate, and as soon as they see their masters in position they walk below their prey. The ostriches flee, but are met by the hunters, who at first only drive them back into the circle. They are made to run around the ring, and in this way their strength is exhausted. At the first sign of fatigue in the birds the horses dash in and the flock separates. The afrighted birds exhaustion, and the hunter, now feeling sure of his prey, selects his bird and runs it down and finishes it with a blow on the head with the olive stick.
 The moment the bird falls the man quick ly dismounts and cuts it's throat; taking care to hold the head at some distance from the body, so as not to soil the plumage. It is said the male bird utters loud moans while dying, but the female dies in silence. When the ostrich is on the point of being taken by the hunter, if he does not wish to kill it he can easily drive it with the stick to where the camel is, it is in such an exhausted con dltion. After the birds are bled to death they are carefully skinned, so that the feath- CTS may not become injured, and the skin is stretched upon a tree or horse and salt is we'll rubbed into it. Then fire is built and the fat of the bird is boiled for a long time. When it is very liquid it is poured into bot- ties made of the skin of the thigh and leg and strongly fastened at the bottom. The fat of one bird is generally sufficient to fill two of these cases, and it is said the fat would spoil in any other vessel. After the trying out process the flesh is prepared and eaten by the hunters, who dress it we'll with pepper and flour. While all this is going on the horses are carefully tended, watered and fed with corn, and the party remains quiet for forty-eight hours to rest the animals. After that they return to the camp or seek more game.
 To the Arab the chase of the ostrich has a double attraction-that of pleasure and of profit. The price obtained for the skin we'll compensates for the expense. Not only do the rich enjoy the pursuit, but the poor, who know how to arrange for it as we'll. The usual plan is for the poor Arab to bar gain with some one who is well to do for the use of his horse, camel, harness and two thirds of the necessary provisions. The borrower furnishes the remaining third and the result of the chase is divided in the same proportion.

ioyed perfect and robust health, and not on remedial or preventive. This enviable condi- tion he attributes almost entirely to his correct diet and habits. Raw fruit he eschewed. All water used was first boiled. Not drop of alcoholic liquor passed his lips. Rice, chicken and tea formed his staple fare. He avoided bathing in cold water, exposed himself as little as possible to the dews and mists of night, and dressed entirely in flannel.
 The plot thickens. The Washington cor respondent of the Philadelphia Times soberly writes: The revelations of the recent acci- dental test of popular sentiment on the sub ject of President Cleveland's renomination have been as much if not more of 8 surprise to the Republican than to the Democratic leaders. Hitherto there has been more or less credence given by the Republican man. agers to the vague stories that the President was not popular and that an attempt to run him again would be resented by the voters of the party which had elevated him to his high office nearly three years ago. When it became apparent that the supposed opposi- tion was nothing more than the froth of dis gruntled office seekers and the real or assum- ed air of chagrin or disappointment of politi- cians seeking to stand in with both the ins and the outs and the successful and unsuc- cessful aspirants for office the Republican version of their own outlook for next year very materially changed.
